Malhar and I worked closely on initial onboarding and related design challenges for the launch of the Google Assistant. Malhar is a joy to work with: inventive, exhaustive, flexible, prolific, with an elegant eye for design and solutions.

One of the traits that big talents exhibit is a constant drive to be better and better. Malhar is the kind of designer who is constantly pushing his skills and widening his scope of reference. He is an emerging strategist and design thinker and his potential is enormous. If the true test of a recommendation is "would you rehire" - then Malhar gets a big thumbs up. I would hire him again in a nano second.
